I have to agree with Hayds with this one...Pokemon Go was trash.

Summer of 16, it was what everybody was talking about. I was still just a Heart Gold player at that time with a Pokewalker, and I was like "Is this Pokewalker on a phone?" Somebody went like "No, it's Pokemon and it's real now." I downloaded it to see what the big deal was.

Nothing.

Whether I chose a team or not, whether got enough berries, it was still dead inside. It might have got people to exercise, but after summer it died out. The only people who still played it were probably just bad at the core games or had nothing else to do in their lives. We moved on to bigger trends like...Gen 7 of Pokemon and games like PUBG and Fortnite, more recently. Niantic pretty soon ran out of ideas and tossed things from newer gens [alolan forms] before Gen 4.

The app just sat on my phone. I opened it up today after I read Hayd's blog, and I have to agree...

Pretty much dead.

Anyone who still played were kind of noobs at the game, the gyms were nuked with Pokemon like Latios and Mewtwo, and shinies were just ways to get people back into the game. I think PBB's update reaction was bigger than the amount of Go players now. The big deal now is like maxing IVs and cheating GO now. Even Mario Run's more fun.

Anyone making a video thinking this game is still alive...probably is losing ideas for videos. Go Fest was a disaster.

I'm defintely sticking to core games on the 3DS and and future core Pokemon games on ROBLOX, how about you?
